New England Local Government
Local government in the New England states has historically been regarded as a style of government that most closely embodies the spirit of American democracy. Although models of local government vary from one town to the next, the common thread which unites all New England towns is that the people are empowered to choose their own form of government, and in doing so control their own destiny. In this fresh and insightful book, Professor Gary L. Rose, a well known commentator on American politics and native New Englander, introduces readers to local government in Connecticut. Rose takes readers on a journey showcasing the origin of Connecticut towns, the different models of government in exi...
The American Presidency Under Siege
Attributes the failure of the modern presidency to the development of a political system that inherently impedes creative leadership, and offers prescriptive measures to restore the governing capacity of the president.
No Holds Barred
One of the surprises in the scholarship of American politics is the rarity of a serious study of a single electoral race. No Holds Barred helps fill this gap. Beginning with the historic retirement announcement by U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman, which resulted in an open senate seat in the state of Connecticut, Gary Rose tracks every facet of the tough and exceptionally hard-fought senatorial campaign that unfolded in Connecticut during 2012.

Connecticut Politics at the Crossroads
This book documents the decline of political parties in the State of Connecticut. The author presents an extensive description of statewide political trends, taps the perceptions of state lawmakers regarding the current condition and influence of party organization, and provides the results of detailed interviews with seasoned politicians to demonstrate that political parties in Connecticut have declined in their capacity to structure the course of state politics. The evidence is compelling in a state often identified as a model in terms of powerful and effective political parties. It is the author's contention that the quality of Connecticut politics and the accountability of state government is in peril due to the concern that the new trends identified in Connecticut could signal the emergence of a much larger crisis in American state politics.
